Didn’t have to Drive somewhere to Run Nowhere

I’m so excited!! Why, you ask. Because today I went for a run! So of you may think I’m crazy, but it’s a wonderful feeling of accomplishment to run 3.1 miles nonstop outside. (I even ran a little more which made it a total of 4 miles run).

I had 3 reasons for running outside as apposed to running on a treadmill (my usual mode of running adventures):

1. I couldn’t make it into the gym today.

2. It was a beautiful day to go for a run. (Warm, partly cloudy, sun at times, and not too windy. My kind of weather for exercising outdoors).

3. In two weeks, on May 3, 2008, I will be running my first 5K!!!!!!!!!!! I’m super excited about that. I thought it’d be smart to actually run on terrain similar to what the race will be like.

I consider running 4 miles outside an accomplishment. (I could have never done that 5 years ago) I’ll keep ya posted on how my first race goes.
